ABA 509 DATA, 2025
Saint Louis Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
What decides your shot at Saint Louis is the LSAT, not the 56.4% acceptance rate that headline suggests. The median LSAT is 157, the median GPA a 3.6, and tuition runs $55,260 a year, though 97.5% of the class walks away with some kind of grant.
What it takes to get in
These are the school's own reported 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile LSAT and GPA numbers from its ABA Standard 509 filing, the same disclosure every accredited law school has to file each year. The 50th percentile is the median: half the admitted class scored above it, half below.
| Year | LSAT 25th | LSAT 50th | LSAT 75th | GPA 25th | GPA 50th | GPA 75th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Your odds
At 157 on the LSAT and a 3.6 GPA, you're right at Saint Louis' median, with a quarter of admits scoring 161 or higher. Fall to 154 or below and you're in the bottom quarter, where a 56.4% acceptance rate still leaves room to miss. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
